What's Going On Lyrics by Cyndi Lauper
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Mother mother
There's too many of you crying
And, brother brother brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know you've got to find a way
to bring that love here today

Father father
There's no need to escalate
you see, war is not the answer
for only love can conquer hate
you know we've got to find a way
to bring back lovin' here today

aw picket lines (brother) and picket signs (brother)
dont punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
Just talk to me (brother) so you can see
oh whats going on
tell me whats going on

mother mother
ev'ry body thinks we're wrong
who are they to judge us
cause our hair is long
you know we've got to find a way
to bring some understanding today

aw picket lines (sisterr) and picket signs (sister)
dont punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)
Just talk to me (sister) so you can see
oh whats going on
tell me whats going on
